The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) strives to provide useful and effective Safety Rest Areas that will enhance driver safety. This is accomplished by designing safe and interesting places for drivers to take a break. Texas was the first state to provide wireless internet access at Safety Rest Areas for use by the public. This free service is provided to entice drivers to make regular stops during long road trips.
